SAN FRANCISCO, August 3.-The big bull
deal In wheat collapsed here to-day. The
top prices were reached Monday when the
bulls offered SO IN per GENITAL for wheat.
Yesterday the market dropped to Ssl4. The
collapse of the deal was not attended
by unusual excitement The sessions Of the
call board were adjourned under the resolu-
ton adopted by the directors. The reason
given was the desire to avert a threatened
panic. No failures were reported up to this
evening, and is is believed that all the deals
will be compromised so as to avoid
any such disasters on the street.

in this part Of Nebraska. Large crowds
attended the services and the most in
tense interest was manifested. 1t has
been frequently remarked that those who
came to the altar seeking the way Of
salvation were almost without exception
blessed with sound conversion to God
while many believers entered upon a
higher religious life and activity. These
happy results are doubtless due in great
measure to the exceptionally excellent
preaching. Revs. ii. ). Hilton, j. Fow.
Ter, H. l.. Powers and n. II Gale, all OF
Central City, also Revs, j. w. Miller of
Genoa, j II. Brooks of st. Paul X. Kan.

Grand Island, L. G. Webster of Plum
Greek, ID. X. Tyndall of Kearney, Meyers
OF Amora, and Edwin Forest, the evan
geist, were present and assisted in the
services. Last Sunday morning the
presiding elder, Rev. j. w. Shank,
preached a sermon of rare excellence
and power, highly appreciated by all
of high order of talent. Any pulpit in
the land would be creditably filled by
Rev. Crane, Rev, Hilton or Rev. Robin
son, or one of others that might be men
toned. Rev. H. s. Powers has great
talent as an evangelist and will be ex-
ceptionally useful for years to come IL
his extraordinary zeal does not break
down his health. The meeting was
under the management of the presiding
elder, who proved himself master of the
situation by keeping all the forces well
in hand, in which he was faithfully sec
onded by the other preachers and the
laymen. The wonderful success
of this meeting has created
an enthusiasm that will probably
result in large attendance next year,
when it is expected that the grounds of
the Riverside Park association will be oc.
cupied.
A pleasing feature of the encampmcnt
was the entertainment furnished at
camp meeting rates by the Newton hotel.
The gentlemanly proprietor. Mr.. l.. N.
Miller, did better than he agreed. and ali
were delighted with the accommodation
furnished by Central City's newest and

OMAHA, August 3.-To the Editor
of the BEE: Wishing to correct
the erroneous impression that
Omaha is behind the times in not extend
ing an invitation to President Cleveland
to visit our city on his western tour, allow
me to state that the president was invited
by the board of trade, on the 10Th of
June, through its president, Mr.. Max
Never, to honor Omaha with his pres
ence. and bespeakng for hIm a most en-
thusiastic reception.
1t was hoped that the president would
perhaps be present at the formal opening
of the Chamber of Commerce, which
could be arranged for any date which
would be agreeable to him. UP to tho
present time no response has been re-
celved. Very respectfully yours

The "Gem" OF Deadwood.

A small local paragraph which was
printed few days ago rejecting in a
mild degree upon the Gem theater of
Deadwood and the character of the per-
formances therein given has been the
source of some discussion up at that
city.
The women Fenton and Saunders
about whom 1t was reported were the
subjects of unjust treatment upon the
part of the manager of the theater have
written letters which have been for
wardcd to this Office by Manager Swear
ingen contradicting the story rs printed,
saying that Manager Swearngen is a
high toned gentleman aud that his Gem
theater is a highly moral place of amuse.
ment and that they were always treated
like ladies. Since the letters were writ
ten, however, the women have arrived in
this city from Deadwood. and say they
were compelled to write the letters
through fear of the manager and that the
matter as printed was true in every par
ticnlar, and that the place is den and
the manager is anything but a gentleman.

An interesting episode occurred in the

Thereupon each of the quartette made
speech to support the motion for dis
missal. The assistant city attorney, Mr..
Davis, who was prosecuting the case, ad
mltted the defect in the complaint.
Thereupon Judge Berka discharged the
prisoner. who, after thanking the gallant
attorneys, walked out of the court room.

Charles Duke, a young man who is
given a very unpleasant reputation by
the police, was arrested yesterday after
noon for inhumanly beating 'his
woman" an inmate of one of the houses
of i'll fame on Dodge, near Tenth street.
Duke is married man, but neglects his
family. He was arrested and so was the
woman, who gave the name of Lltta

He Becomes District Superintendent
of the Western Union.

Colonel j. j. Dickey, who has for
eighteen years been the general superin-
tendent of the Union Pacific company's
telegraph lines, resigned yesterday to
take effect August Is. Colonel Dickey
leaves the service of the Union Pacific on
account of his promotion to the district
superintendency with the Western Union
company with headquarters at Omaha.
The Union Pacific company regrets very
much to lose his services, but as he is to
have much better position his resigna
ton was accepted, although reluctantly.
Vice President Potter would not have
accepted the resignation had not the
Western Union agreed to make Colonel
Dickey's headquarters ut Omaha where
he could readily be consulted when occa
sion required.
His district will still cover the Union
Pacific lines in addition to other terri
tory.
Mr. L. II. Korty, who has for so many
years been his faithful lieutenant rs assis-
tant superintendent, is to be promoted
to fill the vacancy.

General Brock leaves for Boston to-

Captain Ray will attend to the duties of
the office.
The Omaha Rifle club is holding its
weekly shoot at the Bellevue range this
afternoon.
The army officers, especially those de-
voted to the range are somewhat
astoundcd by an assertion IN a mill
tary publication of Colonel II. Mer-
riam of the Seventh infantry, that it
it impossible for soldier to make more
than so per cent according to the army
regulations in target shooting. He holds
further that it is not even possible in the
future to do more than the percentage
mentioned In view of the wonderful
Improvement that has everywhere
to say that in shooting no
improvement can be made is considered
preposterous. Besides the records are
against it. There are fire companies in
Texas, whose average is over &c. three
companies at Budger who have made 70,
one under Colonel Randlett in Fort Du
Chesne which made 77and another under
COlOnel l'aggett Wblcn maze 0i.
The BEE some months ago spoke OF
Colonel H. g. Merriam going to Europe
to patent his improved knapsac. He
went to the war office in Berlin and dis
played it there, later went to England to
have it patented. His improvement was
hardly shown to the Germans when it
seems man named Andreas Sohner, G
Josephstrassc, Berlin, filed speciiica-
ton in London for a patent on the
colonel's Improvement When the latter
applied for a patent few weeks
ago he was informed that the German
had got ahead of HIM. Says the colonel:
The proceeding Is in itself remarkable,
but in connection with the fact that
] was in Berlin myself at the very
time he made the application,
and that my models were exhibited only
at the German war office, 1t becomes sim
gularly suggestive, both of the opinion
of that office upon the merits Of the in
vention and of the facility with which
Mr.. Sohner avaiied himself of informa-
ton only to be had IN that office, through
which he was enabled to make his appli'
cation for foreign patents on my inven-
ton before left the city. Fortunately
my rights were already secured in Eng
land.
